ECHO Residential Treatment Program
Our ECHO Residential Treatment Program is a specialized residential program for adolescent males who have sexually abused. ECHO is an acronym that represents the four key components of our program:
E - Education
C - Change
H - Health
O - Oppurtunity
Focusing on clients' strengths, our mental health workers help troubled youth resolve their social, emotional, educational, and mental health issues. We also help them deal with their sexual behaviour.
Who is eligible for this program?
At ECHO, we treat young males who:
- are 13 to 17 years of age,
- have sexually abused others,
- are at high risk of sexually abusing again, and are thus in need of a safe residential treatment program.
Of the five available beds in the residence, three are reserved for youth who live in the Region of Peel, while the remaining two are for those youth who live elsewhere.
What do we do?
Our multi-disciplinary team designs an individualized treatment program for each youth, targeting their personal issues related to their:
- sexual behaviour,
- developmental issues, and
- cognitive, emotional, and academic problems.
Treatment may include a combination of individual, group, and family treatment interventions.
An integral part of our program involves supporting these youth as they reintegrate themselves into their community.
How do you access this program?
